Screen flickers
When I open certain applications in discord or the Ubisoft client my screen flickers anyone know what might be the problem?
Gcould be a lot of things, try rebooting
Gif a reboot doesn't fix it, try updating your graphics driver
GReboot doesn’t work and graphics drivers have been up to date
Glaptop or desktop?
Gif it's desktop do you have another monitor to try? even if not, are you able to try to connect to your motherboard's hdmi/DP port instead?
Gif it's a laptop, has there been any notable damage to it? do you have any reason to suspect water damage or screen damage?
GIt’s a desktop I am able to connect to the motherboards HDMI
Gsee if that fixes it
GIf the hdmi is plugged in the motherboard wouldn’t that affect the gpu ?
Gyes, we're explicitly trying to rule out the gpu as a cause
GGotcha
GOkay so when I plug my hdmi into my motherboard it does not do the flickering.
Ggreat! your gpu may be somewhat faulty
Gtry reseating it, remove it and put it back on
Gor you can try uninstalling and reinstalling your gpu drivers
SThis might be completely wrong, but sometimes switching back and forth from HDR might be the reason why, because when I launch an HDR game on my Xbox Series X, the screen goes black for a few seconds.
GI uninstalled and reinstalled nothing changed
Gis it application dependent? does it only happen with discord and ubisoft client? does it happen with google chrome/ms edge/windows settings app?
GIt’s weird like if I’m in discord and open a link or something within discord it does it or my steel series app for my headset it also does it
GIt’s only certain applications
G:Thinking:
Gand your graphics driver didn't fix it?
Gbut your motherboard video is fine?
GYes
GFixed it I used DDU for a proper clean uninstall and install and it worked.
